I agree with Jaffe

i thought that jaffe was exaggerating at 1st but as i read i started to understand why he responded to the G4TV review

First off, 3 was my optimistic score. If you're happy playing a game that's nearly 20 years old, more power to you. Most gamers, I believe, expect there to be some kind of evolution in gameplay and Twisted Metal doesn't have any. Seriously, if you just want the same damn thing you got when you were nine, that's fine. More power to you, as the developer has given you exactly that.

 

^^^ this part was kinda harsh and i dont understand what he means by evolution here

 

like what the fuck can they possibly do that would be so new and evolution like that he would be satisfied with in a car combat game?

 

stuff like Mario kart has been around for a long time but to me it's been  the same for the most part. I dont remember anything "evolutionary" in any of the Mario Karts

 

hell, i cant even think of too many old game franchises that felt evolutionary gameplay wise this gen. I can only think of Mario Galaxy at the moment

 

why try to fix something that isn't broken? and its not like we see twisted metal every 1-2 years

 

he implied that Twisted Metal has NOTHING new so i guess the new NUKE mode, sniping and helicopter segments in Twisted Metal is the same as it was nearly 20 years ago right? LMAO

 

but whatever though..

The problem is you.  Mario kart always has been an excellent franchise while Twisted metal always has been a broken franchise that got average reviewscores:
